Got To Love Technology
So my company has acquired a new email system to each salesperson , me and my boss . So I have been sending emails to my brother saying we are sorry for running over your dog , and backing over your mailbox trying to leave , some to my family with awesome success . I just sent a pic to my dad showing a dent in a car like mine saying he rear ended me ... ha ha

Beavers Affecting Fishing
I fish lakes , ponds with beavers. They can be both good and bad , meaning when they are actively swimming around my general area , yes fishing shuts down . However when he is not around I will routinely target the mound or area directly surrounding and will pull fish off that sucker left and right . Pick apart every singles stick , branch , etc as they hold fish . I have fished over one vertically with a drop shot and literally caught fish for 10 or so minutes back to back .

Flipping/pitching Injuries?
Yes... I lost a fish that got me wrapped up in a submerged tree . In last desperation I pull the line trying to break free . But the branch broke free launching my chatterbait 90mph into the side of my leg . I had a sideways chatterbait bruise on my leg for 2 weeks , coolest bruise ever.

Who Carries Daily.....and What Do You Carry...and Why..?
Yes I carry daily for one reason , better to have one and not need it then not have one and need it . I have had it in some scary situations and due to the fact that it was visible they situation stayed calm . Not saying I pull it out and threaten but better to know what's at stake .

Upping My Confidence With T-Rigged Plastics
I think you just making it overly complicated. I fish a texas rig exactly the same as a jig . There is literally no difference just water temp designation. Think your using a jig so your confidence will be high.

Struggling With The Drop Shot
Your fishing the right baits , but what test line are you using ? Keep in mind your going to have and play with the tag lengths . I have fished them short as 3 inches as that was the only way I got bit. I love fishing mine vertically in cover if I can find it . I like to start with a longer tag end as I feel I have greater control of raising the bait up and kill it and just let it float down , awsome rigged wacky . Other times I will find current and let it sit and it will flick its tail like a fleeing minnow. Other times I will literally just leave in place for sometimes up to 2 minutes if I feel that fish are in the area. To me I think of it as a bass is forced to just stare at it getting ticked or hungry .

How To Adjust Brakes To Skip Lures Under Docks?
I keep my baitcaster very loose , as far as rod I like a medium to medium heavy fast action 6-6 to 7-0 . Different baits have different friction levels . Craws, tubes , senkos skip best , however lizards because of the flat under belly work well to . I like a finesse jigs or texas rigs with full size trailer , certain jig he3ad styles have more friction and can cause for more aggravation and backlash . If you can find a screw lock wire tired jigs these are my first option for durability of violent and consistent skips . Pull the skirt off the bottom and move the skirt to the sides and on top of the plastic to allow for easier skipp ability . Smaller finesse and texas rig lures are easier to skip , but once you master the small stuff you can skip the larger 3/8ths and 5/16ths oz a lot easier and farther . Practice different positions as not every spot will have the direct lanes for skipping , the more versed you are the more ridiculous places you can pull fish from . I go to the lake or even creeks and just practice one to 3 times a week , along with jerkbaits to stay on top of my game . DONT KEEP YOUR BRAKES tight with the as this will cause a nightmare . If you want to see some ridiculous action check out tim cline tips for skipping a jig on youtube ..... Sweet jebus that guy is awesome . Just remember it takes time lots of time and patience . But once you learn it you can skip just about anything keeping it realistically to crazy places .

Hook Set Killed 6 Pounder...
You had a one and a million chance that something weird happened . I wouldn't let it bother you continue fishing just strike it up as something crazy .

Is Medium-Heavy Too Stiff?
Medium heavy is to stought . Medium is where you want to be as that is what most crankbait rods are geared for . Medium heavy would be a good heavy all around spinning rod setup .

At What Price Point Do You...
Price is a relative word . I am a mechanic by nature , now in sales ... but mind when you when I first got started in automotive industry I bought $ 20-50 wrench sets . As I saw a use for them being a work horse for me I quickly saw a difference in quality to do more than having cheap wrenches slip all the time on me so I upgraded and bought some matco and snap on wrench sets for $ 250- 500 . Same can be said for my fishing rods , I prefer dobyns rods as they serve a purpose for quality and feel . To some people that might make them choke . Quality for a price is more over where i judge my price estimation and when to walk , some options are better for the same $$$ range . There is no right or wrong answer as long as you're comparing apples to apples .
